			On the Kill-Team tabletop, Archsybarites are big boss of the group. While not much different than their agents, they do come with a rather vast array of weapons to consider for whatever build you want. They come with a unique action that lets them gain 1 CP each turn if they decide not to take the first chance they can to use a ploy, which helps encourage you to consider more long-term planning and working around your enemy's schemes without throwing the first punch.

			If you're planning on more firing lines, you can be boring and stick with the Splinter Rifle and Array of Blades given to any other agent. Fortunately, you do have the corsair's aim action, helping add Balanced to the rifle.

			Going further to melee gives you more interesting options. The Power Weapon gives you a reliable weapon with impressive crits thanks to Lethal 5+, the Venom Blade's damage is fixed to 4 damage either way but has Lethal 4+ to overwhelm enemy defenses, and the Agonizer provides an interesting option with Brutal to negate defenses and Lethal 5+ for more crits, letting it trigger Reap 1 more often on top of the high damage. Meanwhile, your sidearms in melee are stuck to either the basic Splinter Pistol and the Blast Pistol. The Blast Pistol is a bit of a dodgy option not only because of the weapon restrictions for the army, but also the fact that you're firing it at a 3+ BS instead of the Splinter Pistol's 2+.

			Also comes with a Stinger Pistol, which is unconventional in that its BS is determined by the target's save, dealing a MW if you roll below the enemy's save and 3MW if you roll a 1, meaning that this will fuck over daemons like no tomorrow and seriously trouble genestealers. If the pistol manages to kill someone, it deals splash damage that deals d3 MW to anyone within 2"/circle of them, which can make for some decent payoff - especially if you can chain up some kills.

	Flayers are the close-combat monsters of the kill team.

	'''Kabalite Warriors''' are your basic [[Dark Eldar]] foot soldiers and are analogues of the [[Eldar]] [[Guardian\|Guardians]]. Unlike their Guardian counterparts, they are actually front-line warriors as their namesake implies. Thus, they are arguably more [[Awesome]] than your typical Elfdar. Kabalite Warriors usually comprise most of the manpower (delfpower?) during a Dark Eldar raid.

	Life in the Dark City is defined by constant backstabbing while trying not to end up as either fodder for the arenas or as material for some Haemonculus' next project. As a result, most individual Dark Eldar citizens have bigger brass balls than you'd find on half of an entire Eldar Craftworld. In short, Dark Eldar society is very dangerous, and because of the need for ''some'' measure of safety almost all citizens of Commorragh attempt to become Warriors in one Kabal or another.

	The standard Kabalite Warrior is very lightly equipped, carrying only a [[Splinter Rifle]] for armament. Unfortunately for their foes, the [[Splinter Rifle]] is quite decent as far as basic weapons go, being a 24" range rapid fire weapon that always wounds living targets on a 4+. The squad's more experienced Warriors are also sometimes assigned powerful support weapons such as [[Splinter Cannon]]s, [[Dark Lance]]s, [[Shredder]]s and [[Blaster]]s. The Sybarite has a splinter rifle as standard, but also has access to a wide variety of other options including the [[Splinter Pistol]], [[Blast Pistol]], [[power sword]], [[Power weapon#Agoniser\|agoniser]], and/or [[Phantasm Grenade Launcher]].

	In terms of protection, Warriors benefit most from armor that allows speed and agility. [[Kabalite Armour\|Thus their armor is a thin, light-weight flexible bodysuit, pressurized to allow Warriors to traverse the vacuum of space.]] Just like standard-issue Eldar suits this armor responds to neural impulses from the wearer and hardens when struck in combat, allowing for a reasonable level of resistance to basic attacks. The lightness and flexibility of this armor allows Warriors to fully utilize their superior speed and reflexes in combat. However, simply ''wearing'' armor is too tame for most Dark Eldar. Therefore the plates of their bodysuits are often fitted with barbs and hooks that dig into the user's skin. In typical Drukhari BDSM fashion, rather than being a painful distraction this actually sharpens and maximizes their senses. In some cases the armor is only staying on its wearer because putting it on requires the use the hooks on the inward-facing parts of the armor to pierce the skin.

	More practical Warriors will sometimes make use of wraithbone components salvaged from Eldar aspect warrior and guardian armor, up to and including complete stolen suits. The Warriors seldom stick to a standardized uniform beyond a general color scheme and the symbol of whatever Kabal they choose to fight for, so many of them turn up with differently-stylized wargear. Some are scaled back with less plating, some feature different adornments, others may have more or less conventional armor designs, and so on.

	As their name implies, these guys carry an even ''bigger'' gun than a typical Kabalite Gunner. Heavy Gunners often wield [[Dark Lance]]s and [[Splinter Cannon]]s. [[Powergamer\|Pretty fucking overkill if you ask us, especially when considering that they will most likely be facing GEQs and MEQs]]. They are less mobile than their lighter siblings but they pack a ridiculous amount of punch. Wherever they fire, that target drops dead. They are often paired with the normal Gunner so both these guys can cover each other's weaknesses.		As their name implies, these guys carry an even ''bigger'' gun than a typical Kabalite Gunner.

	Like the Agents, Heavy Gunners have a more simplified role than a conventional Warrior, acting more of a defensive role than an offensive one. This means that they are only allows to have the aforementioned limitations of two weapons.

	As followers of Yaelindra, they are specialised in all things toxic, poisonous and venomous. In battle, they are known to inject unfortunate victims with abominable toxins coming from either their [[Stinger Pistol]]s and [[Grenades & Explosives#Torment Grenade\|Torment Grenade.]]		As followers of Yaelindra, they are specialised in all things toxic, poisonous and venomous.

	On the Kill-Team tabletop, Disciples of Yaelindra are specialized units that comes with some some special Torment Grenades, which forces enemies within 2"/circle of the blast zone to roll a d6 (+1 if the enemy has a 4+ save or worse, -1 if they're not visible) with a 3+ poisoning them, not only dealing them 2 mortal wounds but also treating them as Injured for all the penalties that provides.

	Also comes with a Stinger Pistol, which is unconventional in that its BS is determined by the target's save, dealing a MW if you roll below the enemy's save and 3MW if you roll a 1, meaning that this will fuck over daemons like no tomorrow and seriously trouble genestealers. If the pistol manages to kill someone, it deals splash damage that deals d3 MW to anyone within 2"/circle of them, which can make for some decent payoff - especially if you can chain up some kills.

	On the Kill-Team tabletop, Flayers are dual-wielding melee butchers. The fact that they reduce any damage they suffer by 1 makes them a bit tankier, but they're still Eldar at the end of the day. Their Pain Sculptors are quite decent as melee weapons with Relentless, but their big draw is the ability to capitalize on one crit, turning it into a pain token they can then feed to a friendly operative within 6"/pentagon.

	If you're wondering which to pick between the Crimson Duelist and the Flayer, consider what you're up against. If you're not worrying about anything with high defenses like shields or deadly weapons like power fists, you might be better suited to use a Flayer to help feed pain tokens for your teams. Take the Crimson Duelist if you need to overwhelm enemies quickly.		If you're wondering which to pick between the Crimson Duelist and the Flayer, consider what you're up against.
